The Notebook currently beats WALL·E 63–38
The rain-soaked romance outperforms Pixar's robot — human passion leads.
The Verdict Genre Clash
This matchup has 16 votes — still early. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
The rain kiss — Gosling and McAdams soaked, shouting, the years of separation collapsing in a single physical moment that Cassavetes holds long enough for the audience to feel the relief as much as the characters do — is romantic cinema at its most uninhibited. WALL·E's romance is the more formally innovative achievement: a love story told without dialogue between two machines. But uninhibited human passion generates a response that animated devotion, however precisely rendered, can't fully replicate. The lead says the body in the rain outperforms the robot holding the hand. Physical passion wins over mechanical patience.
